Wake up... Wake up dammit. You remember what happened when you passed out before. Wake up!

My eyes shooting open I went to run but I fell off a couch and landed on a cold floor. I let out a groan as I looked up to see my surroundings. I was greeted with a familiar sight, Stark tower. I was home? Quickly I scrambled to my feet and raced for my room. My feet hit the floor and up the stairs, almost tripping at the last step, only catching myself with the railing. As I made my way to the next hall I didn't bother slowing down my pace, I knew I had let someone know that I was awake, who I didn't know and I didn't care to find out. I stepped on the wall as I turned the corner to keep my pace and as soon as I could I wove my hand behind me, my door slamming shut with the wave of my hand. I pushed my desk to block the door even though that would do little good, it made me feel safer. I tore open my closet doors and opened the bottom drawer, my bow was there but where were my arrows. When I heard someone clear their voice behind me I turned around and got into an immediate fighting stance. Raising one hand to summon my power, but as I turned I saw Loki and he wove his own hand stopping my movements.

"And what do you think you were going to do without these?" In his other hand he held my arrows, I let out a huff of air and let a wave take over. Overwhelming his hold on me I spun around and struck his cheek with the end of my bow, almost like a hard slap. His dark hair covered his face when he gripped his jaw and then took a heavy breath. I could tell that I had pissed him off and when I went to strike him again he gripped the bow and tore it from my grip. Snapping it in two, I would have felt hurt but before I could I was grabbed by the base of my neck and pulled out of my room. "Quit struggling, it's no use."

"Fuck you!" I said through my teeth and almost tripped going down the steps as he held the nape of my neck. I had grabbed onto his arm that held my neck only to stop myself from falling. "Why am I even alive, you could just kill me now," We reached the lounge area and he let go of me, I rubbed the back of my neck as my eyes met his. I wasn't going to let him out of my sight any longer.

"I must apologize. If you'd prefer, I can finish the job now," He said, an arm guiding me over to the couch. I didn't flinch as he had expected me to and that made him grin for a moment.

"Seems like you have more power than you let on, you could do whatever you wanted and I couldn't do a thing to stop you," I crossed my arms over my chest, waiting for a reply.

"Although that is true, but if I had wanted to kill you-"

"You would have done so already," I added, cutting him off. He knew how uneasy I was and he wasn't using it over me which is surprising. "I have more power than I let on as well I'm guessing..." I didn't know how much power I had really, all I knew is that he would have taken me for a reason unless this was just to toy with Tony.

"That is also true," He began to pace back an forth as I continued to hammer the questions at him.

"So you don't intend to kill me?" I paused taking a breath to steady my speaking, I didn't want to sound weak now. Plus I was still regaining my strength from what had happened on the helicarrier. "Then what do you intend to do with me?" A slight ringing in my ears caused me to look towards the balcony, a machine starting up. "I don't buy the fact that I saved your life with the gun that Coulson shot at you, by the way. Wish I hadn't," I added a cheeky smirk at the end which only made him chuckle. I rolled my eyes and started to rub my temple, the ringing had started to grow louder and I noticed a blue glow around it. "So tell me Loki, why didn't you kill me when you had the chance, you could have multiple times," I was too clever and stubborn for my own good. He put his tongue in his cheek and looked around a little more. He could plan many lies and tricks for very intricate plans, but this he was unprepared for. That left him with one option: the truth. Something he was not particularly accustomed to, and I was determined to finally have the truth from someone.

"Very well, I saw my self in you," My eyes grew wider at the answer. When he took a step towards me I gave him a sharp glare and pulled my legs closer to me, warning him to stay away. "You have a youthful desire to do well and do right by everyone and to just bee seen by everybody around you. Something I saw in my own reflection some time ago, you have an ability within yourself that you have yet to realize Jaedyn," His eyes met mine and I couldn't move, he had stepped towards me again and I didn't move. I couldn't move as his hand went up to my cheek cupping my cheek. "I was wronged by the people I held dearest me me and the fires that I once held inside were extinguished soon after."

"What else is there," I narrowed my stare to him and he took a step back a grin flashing to me.

"Not much gets passed you does it?"

"No," I stood up and smoothed my clothes, me standing must have shocked him cause he took a another step away from me. "I grew up without a father for long periods of time, he drank often. Which is why I learned to read people, so I could see where and when I shouldn't be somewhere," I paused looking at my tinted blue skin before I looked up to him once more. "What do you plan do with me?"

"It's not what I can do with you, it's what you can do for me..." His hands folded behind his back and he stared to me. "I plan to rule this world, with you by my side. Once we unlock what must be done, of course."

"This world you keep saying, is it how I think it will be?" I asked, a puzzled look crossing my face. He shot one back at me and I rolled my eyes. "Bleached skulls, fire and ash? Because I was told it was going to be like that, not a big fan of it."

"Oh and just who told you this?" I motioned up to my head and he got what I was saying. "You know what I want instead of that world? This to be some dream, or a coma. God I would love for this to just be me in a coma, from me being reckless as I was out at night," I rolled my eyes and took a deep breath looking up to Loki again. "I want you to end the invasion you have planned. Just call it off," I groaned in frustration as I knew he wouldn't.

"It's not that simple my Love," He turned from me and walked towards the balcony, seeing the machine glowing brightly. "I cannot simply stop this once it's started."

"I don't want this Loki, this ability or any of this. I never wanted any of this. I just wanted to be able to fight my own battles instead of having someone else do the fighting for me," I grabbed his hand but when I saw how my energy swelled and his hand started to turn a shade of blue. His skin got cold and started to send chills up my spine. He took his hand away from mine knowing that I shouldn't have touched him.

"Let me tell you of these abilities you have been bestowed. They come from the Tesseract one of the most powerful artifacts in the universe. The Tesseract can open rifts through space, that is how I came here. The Tesseract is also what powers the scepter I wield. The Tesseract is what gives you these abilities, but you have an even greater attachment to the stone that I have yet to fully understand," I threw my hands up and a few bottles from the bar flew to the wall, shattering.

"I don't want to understand it, I don't even want it! Granted I don't understand a lot about what is going on, like why you are doing this to us. Not to us, to the world. You are trying to rule over us, like you tried back in Germany," I gestured each word with my hands then brought them up to my temples sighing heavily.

"For years I was ignored and shunned so my cold demeanor grew and got more frostbitten. When I realized what I was I knew I would try to best Thor, try to defeat him..." Loki seemed to be trying to find the right words as he paced for a moment. I saw in his eyes his memories of him and Thor were flashing behind his eyes. "I wished to show that I was worthy of receiving Odin's favor and love, I deserved it. I didn't understand why they thought that strength of mind and magic had less use than strength of body. No more hiding in the shadows though. I am stronger than my brother, his enemy. I couldn't earn his respect as his brother so I will earn his respect and fear as his opponent on the battle field. Nothing will hold me back from defeating him, and when I kill him. It will be slow and painful, he will know how I felt," By now I was afraid of the way he was talking, knowing every word dripped with hate for Thor. "All those who mocked me will tremble at my feet as I rule his beloved Earth, I am the rightful king!"

"What I've just gathered, you hate your brother because he was chosen as the king of Asgard, instead of you and is favored by Odin?" I sighed and crossed my arms over my chest. "You have a thing for the dramatic flare if you think that this is actually gonna help your case for taking over the world. You've killed Eighty people, probably more!" I yelled taking steps towards him, my finger pointing at him accusingly.

"I am the rightful king, you don't understand what you are speaking on. If I desired my true parentage throne it would be mine, seeing as I am the son of their deceased king," He stood up straighter, he's tall, showing just how much power he still had over me.

"Loki, I'm sorry, but this isn't the right way to go about this..." I knew I wouldn't be able to get through his thick skull, but I had to try. "I have tried to get into the spotlight before, for my father. And although he's not the king of Asgard, he's a celebrity and superhero. My father isn't much for being a father... I have lived in a shadow my life, it wasn't another person. But just the fact that he was to invested into being a super hero instead of a father or CEO," I shrugged as he looked to me, seeing as we are more alike than we know. He walked towards me slowly. If I wasn't thinking of all the times that Tony had chosen work and the suit over me I would have been able to notice his hand. Touching my cheek, a soft smile on his lips and he brought our foreheads together. Our eyes would have met, if his weren't closed. Why wasn't I attacking him, I should have been punching, screaming, or trying to get away. But truth be told, I felt calm, I didn't want to run. I could talk to him better than I could talk to Tony, that's for sure.

"You are like a black rose, different and unreal, but beautiful," His eyes opened and met mine. I gave a weak smile before I gripped my chest. The waves of energy started to get stronger as I put my hands out to move Loki away from me he saw that I was struggling to keep composure.

"Lady Stark?" He ignored my protests to not touch me and gripped my arm. My eyes flashed and sent him back, sliding across the floor. He materialized the scepter and stabbed it into the floor to come to a stop. Looking at me he saw that I was hyperventilating. Wisps forming on my skin that made my body start to glow. Remember that you are suppose to hate him, and want to kill him. He is the enemy! My hands curled to fists and the Tesseracts power started to gather around and inside my hands. I rose one and lifted a chair, aiming to Loki I threw it at him hard. He easily split it in two with the scepter and called my name.

"You did this to me, you caused all of this!" My eyes narrowed, the braces were bright and the energy seemed to want to be directed to him. "You caused all of this!"

"Jaedyn-" I cut him off with the noise of me teleporting behind him and kicking him forwards. Vanishing again to reappear only in time to catch him off guard and hit him. He had only tried to dodge my attacks, not to stop me. I could tell that I was pissing him off though. "Enough!" Loki's voice spoke grimly and he finally started hitting back at me. Swinging the scepter towards me, I easily maneuvered my way around his blows. Teleporting towards him again, I went to kick him and he grabbed my foot tossing me to the floor. My ribs hurt, from pain or the power I wasn't sure, I did know that I would need an x-ray either way. Getting to my feet after I took a moment to make sure nothing was broken I saw him disappear. I gasped for breath when he reappeared and grabbed my throat, lifting me off the ground. Up to his eye level, I clawed at his arm to let me go but he had on armor that wouldn't do me any good.

"Oh little Stark, you think you're so strong. I will tear you apart and ruin you, and you will realize how weak you truly are," Loki's voice started to become horse to me as there was a ringing in my ears, my hands started to grow heavy, but I still continued to try and tear his hand off my throat. "Stockholm Syndrome, feelings of trust or affection felt by a victim toward a captor," Loki looked to me, meeting my eyes. A cocky smirk on his lips, I had been played from the start he only wanted to use me, but I felt like it wasn't that, and it was more than just some small case of Stockholm Syndrome.

"Ah but you see," I took a deep breath and coughed shortly to get some breath back. "It's the other way around Loki. Yes I do have some amount of empathy to you, but you reciprocated feelings back to me."

"Quiet your tongue Mortal." His grip tightened on my throat and I cried out. "Before I cut it out." My eyes went wide as I went straight back to the situation with Ivan. My heartbeat grew louder in my ears.

"I don't think so Reindeer Horns, now drop her and back away from my daughter. Before I blow you to bits," I barely her Tony's voice and the power up of his armor. I focused all the energy at had into my hands and shoved them into Loki's chest. He slammed into the wall behind him, dropping me to the ground. I grabbed my throat and gasped for oxygen to fill my lungs.

"Dad!" I croaked out and stumbled to my feet to try and get to him. Loki had gotten out of the hole in the wall I caused him to be in then spun the scepter at dad. Shooting abeam of light towards part of the tower and let it collapse on him. Thankfully dad knew and had gotten out of the way.

"I'm sorry pet, but we've run out of time, your father is upon us and I have use of you still." Loki's voice whispered to me and lifted me by my throat once more. Bringing me to the balcony, I had no strength to fight him anymore.

"Loki, stop please," I gripped at his armor, moving closer to the stone and machine only made my body throb in pain. "Loki it hurts, please stop!" I begged him, he didn't acknowledge my please but lifted my arm up to the stone's beam that had already shot into the sky. Loki's grip on my throat loosened as I was transfixed with the giant beam of light that created this hole in the sky. Creatures flying through it, I turned back to Loki pleading once more. "Loki..." He moved my arm into the machine and I touched the stone. My breathing stopped and I felt the whole Tesseract invading my body. The cold air hitting my skin as the blue energy burned my clothing and replaced it with a blue wrap. Screaming in agony I felt the Tesseract take over inside me, fighting against it. If I was going to have this stone be a part of me it was going to be on my terms. Opening my eyes, I saw that the scars along my body were glowing blue with my veins glowing even brighter.

Finally Jaedyn. You have nothing now, no fight left in you. Allowing me access to all of the power my old prison held. It is my turn to show you what power is you insignificant child! You think you know what this power holes, you know nothing about this ability you hold so deep within you. What I showed you before will come true now child, you will see what true power is.

The last thing I heard was Dad's voice yelling my name, echoing through my ears.
